Ive checke dout my stats against the 100 rule to see how 1u drops my bg reading and its pretty close...
I usually work on it dropping me by 3mmol, but the 100 rules says 3.5mmol, which to be fair is probably nearer the truth.
However the 500 rule I really dont get, I assume this only works if you eat the same amount of carbs every single day, I eat near enough the same amount - 140 - 160g carbs a day. Howeer the rule for me says that i should be working to 1 u to 17 g carbs. Where i work to around 1 u to 10.
I dont understand the theory behind the 500 rule at all...?
